Helical Piers
Helical piers are steel elements consisting of solid or hollow posts with one or more levels of helical flights attached to the tip. This type of foundation is drilled in to the required depth, adding additional post sections as required. Since helical piers are entirely made of steel, they may be placed into service immediately. Unlike driven piles, the installation method does not produce large vibrations.
